Net users are liberal atheists?

So I just had a discussion with my brother where I made the claim that I believe the majority of internet users are liberals as opposed to conservatives and atheist/agnostic as opposed to religious.

Whether they prove or disprove me, can anyone find any statistics on the matter? I'd be interested to know and I haven't been able to find any such statistics.

I've also got that feeling. But in atleast the western world there should be about the same distribution of users since internet is in almost every home. However liberal and atheists are most likely younger (as an average) than conservatives and religious people and older folks are not as active online as young people. Therefore liberal and atheists are "seen" alot more online than conservative and religious.

Also in europe I assume there are wery few US style conservative and the religious are not that extreme as some of the us religious right so even if they might match the description you might not notice them.

Just my rambling though.

That may apply to the latter, but certainly not to the former

As for the stats, judging from any political discussions on this site, I'd say you're fairly correct. I'd also go so far as to say that most 'conservatives' here would be closely classified as 'classically liberal', so I guess that works as well

I think it depends on your definition of "net users". But those who are on the net for a longer time, are often exposed to parts of the hacker culture, so I think you are right. Hackers believe in individual freedom, value skill and knowledge and are often well educated.
But we have to be careful about the term "liberal", as it can have different meanings.

Yeah, I agree with what you guys are saying but I asked for stats since my brother won't believe me without evidence. Thanks for the thoughts though.

"Majority of internet users."

If you regard everybody who sometimes is on the net, you are wrong. It really depends on how often and for what they use the net.

Hmm while I dont have the correct statistics, I beg to differ. I was under the same impression but third world countries skew this notion. For example in my country I was shocked to learn that only about 5% IIRC only had computers and internet, I thought it was much much higher.

you fucking morons are nitpicking a number I pulled out of my ass? The fucking POINT of the post was he was generalizing over a billion people. I dont give a shit if its 25% or 80% of the fucking world population.

Jesus christ I have to walk some of you through a post to get to the meaning. Fucking deafening how dumb some people are.

I thought right wing christians had a huge slice of the us tv cake. Mostly thinking about fox network but also others. Do liberal atheists really dominate?

No matter how you define "internet user" or "majority" or anything else, the OP was asking for statistics on an issue without claiming to have the actual answer himself. So then Inc starts flaming him? What? I'm confused more than anything else.

I flamed him because he "believes the majority of the internet users" is liberal...

incontrol is telling me not to "bitch" at others.

what I'm trying to communicate with you is that the way you post where you just condemn people all the time and call them names because they don't agree with you is obnoxious and annoying. if i had respect for you, the way you post cost you all of it.
